Keep Yourself Sharp
We are not unaware of the devil schemes or devices. (2 Corinthians 2:11) We have the mind of Christ. (1 Corinthians 2:16) The strategy of the devil is to keep the public divided and the party or the union at each other. Distractions always brings division. It’s a distraction for the public, due to the failing of the globalist establishment of the governing class. Therefore, let’s stay sharp and be vigilant. (1 Peter 5:8)
In Ecclesiastics 10:10, regarding the ax (we) sharpness. It says, “If the ax is dull and its edge not sharpened, more strength is needed, but skill (wisdom) will bring success (profit).”
When the ax is dull, then we have to put more effort and strength. The tree we are cutting down with a dull ax is not hurting the tree, but we are the ones hurting because we are working twice as hard. A dull ax (a heavy bladed head mounted) is hard work. The result of all that hard work develops calluses in our hands. Also, the blood pressure increases and the bruises we got from putting a lot of strength. However, with the skills we possessed are the success that comes quickly.
In Hebrew, the word SKILL means Knowledge of the Laws or Principles. A skillful person is not the one with a BA or BS degree, but the one who knows the laws or the principles of everything. For example, our car breaks down and we blame the car for our ignorance, why the car is not working? The reason, we don’t know the law or principle, how the car functions? That’s why we attacked the car for not working properly for us. So, we call a mechanic to fix the car because they have the knowledge and we don’t.
We don’t need to curse life, we need to know the skills (knowledge of the law or principles) that God created for life for us to be blessed. If we don’t have the skill, then we are like the dull ax. Prosperity (wealth or riches) comes from the law or principles. So, when the mechanic is collecting money from us, he/she just made his/her way prosperous. If we are knowledgeable on how to fix our own car, then the prosperity (money) would come to us, not to the mechanic. Let’s prosper for ourselves. Let’s develop, refine and apply our gifts and talents to work (to become yourself) in our favor. (Genesis 2:15) God bless you!
